A human ISA is a person (in-house or outsourced) who calls, texts, and emails real estate leads to qualify them and book appointments. They typically work business hours, require training, management, and benefits. Some agencies outsource to the Philippines or Latin America for lower costs. Human ISAs have been the standard in real estate for decades.
Human ISAs excel at nuanced conversations — handling objections, reading emotional cues, and building rapport in ways AI cannot fully replicate. For high-value luxury transactions where relationship-building is critical from the first touch, a skilled human ISA provides genuine value.
Brevlo responds in under 60 seconds, 24/7/365 — including nights, weekends, and holidays when human ISAs are unavailable. At $199/month vs $2,500–$4,000/month for a human ISA, the cost savings are 90%+. Brevlo never calls in sick, never needs training on compliance, and maintains perfect TCPA/CASL adherence on every message. Voice profiling ensures responses sound like the agent, not a call center.
